to which vstem the ball of the pad, prefer? ably made, of solid caoutchouc, isr rigidly-secured 'by its neck. The stem is, at the one end bythe seniispherically curvedsurface i0 of a button onthe one side of theelastio Y end, and at the other end by the, likewise 'p seniispherically curvedsurface" of the neck' of the pad onl the opposite side of the elastie.
